As you grow older you are likely to suffer body ache. You might start experiencing back and joint pain as young as 30 according to Dr. Alexis Tingan a physician at Penn Medicine though you normally start experiencing it between 40 and 60. Injuries, diseases and lack of activity may also worsen the problem. In such cases, a chiropractic adjustment in Denver might be what you need to solve the problem. A chiropractic adjustment is a treatment in which a chiropractor uses their hands or a device to adjust the bones, muscles and joints to relieve the pressure and bring them back to their proper position. Here are some obvious signs that you need to consult a chiropractor:

Migraines
Headaches are caused due to many reasons including the lack of proper nutrition, dehydration, deprivation of oxygen, misalignment of the spine, etc. But it’s usually rooted in neck bones and muscles. A chiropractor can relieve the tension in the neck muscles and improve blood flow in blood vessels thus improving the oxygen flow. The doctor can also realign the joints in the neck soothe the migraine.

Restricted Motion
If you have difficulty moving your neck as far as you should or feel stiffness in your elbows, knees, hips and other joints, then you need to consult a chiropractic practitioner. It’s usually caused by an inflammation in the joint caused by an injury or diseases like arthritis. Restricted motion restricts your daily activities and is accompanied by pain. A chiropractor can realign the joints and soothe the pain.

Chronic Back Pain
As previously stated, it’s normal to suffer back pain as you age. A sedentary lifestyle or heavy lifting also strain the back muscles and cause pain. It usually goes away after a day’s rest but if it persists, then you might need to see a chiropractic doctor to remove the tension and realign your spine without conducting costly and intrusive surgery.

Joint & Muscle Pain
You might experience some pain in the joints and muscles after heavy exercise which subsides after resting for a day or two. But if the pain continues, the problem could be a misalignment of joints. Most people tend to use painkillers when they experience joint or muscle pain. This won’t solve the problem, only reduce the pain until the painkiller wears off and the pain shoots up again. Chiropractic treatment can realign those joints and remove the pain.

Sharp Pain In The Legs
If pain shoots up your legs every time you stand or they feel tingly or shaky then you might have pinched a nerve or slipped a spinal disc. A trained professional can diagnose the cause of the pain and realign your spinal cord to alleviate the pressure away from the nerves thus get rid of the pain as well.

Uneven Wear Of Footwear
If you notice that the sole of your shoes are eroding unevenly, that is one side seems thinner than the other than you might have a spinal subluxation, i.e. a partial misalignment of your spine. It’s often accompanied by pain and discomfort. See a practitioner to realign the spine.

Poor Posture
If you tend to slouch with your neck bent forward when standing or sitting, then you are putting unwanted pressure on the joints and muscles in your neck, shoulders and back. This can cause a slipped disc or herniated disc. To prevent this, see a chiropractor to relieve the tension on these parts and correct your posture.

Sedentary Lifestyle
A sedentary lifestyle refers to a daily routine in which you sit for long hours. The human body was designed to keep walking for long hours with some rest in between. But at present schools and offices require people to sit for long hours. This weakens the muscles and joints, making them more vulnerable to back problems if combined with a bad posture.

Now that you know the symptoms, do consult a chiropractor if you notice them to see if you need a chiropractic adjustment in Denver. According to Mayo Clinic, you can see improvements within six to ten visits though you might need to see other options if you see no improvement.
